spring update

We've been having a fun spring so far. Olivia & Violet loved Easter this year. They kept asking when the Easter Bunny was going to come. We spent Easter Saturday at Jamie's parent's house. The girls had fun dyeing eggs, going on an egg hunt and spending time with their cousins. We spent Easter Sunday with my family at my sister Nikki's house. It was great to see all of the cousins play together. Olivia loved her Easter basket and was very excited about the underwear she got from the bunny. Violet didn't care at all about her basket. After she found it, she left it on the ground and went searching for more plastic eggs instead. Olivia and Violet have been sorting and re-sorting their Easter treats ever since Easter weekend. The treats have been sorted by color, then by type, then stored back in the plastic eggs, then into baggies....I didn't know there were so many options.

It has been such a beautiful spring that we've been spending a lot of time outside already. The girls love riding bike and are now learning to ride without training wheels. It was strange to spend a day raking leaves in March, but the weather was so wonderful that it felt like fall. The girls had a blast playing in the leaves!

Olivia and Violet also participated in a Little Sportster class run by the City of Plymouth. They met once a week for four weeks and played a variety of sports including soccer, kickball, floor hockey and some common kids games. The class was held at the high school near our house, so we would ride bike to and from class which was really nice. They really enjoyed the class and are sad that it is over!

Olivia & Violet are also still participating in swimming lessons. They just moved up to the next level and absolutely LOVE it. They swim around with big smiles on their faces the entire time. They are starting to learn how to swim without a flotation device, so hopefully it won't be long before they can swim on their own. One of their favorite things to do is jump off the diving board. They usually get to do this at the end of each lesson.
